ENH: Preinstall on screen keyboard #45

Closed khagaroth closed 1 year ago

khagaroth commented 1 year ago

Enhancement: Preinstall on screen keyboard. Necessary for tablet usage. The unicorn desktop works pretty well on tablets, but the lack of on screen keyboard in the live environment makes installation on touch devices a PITA (requires USB hub and physical keyboard).

Hey there, we actually already have this in unicorn-mobile-git. You should install it for this capability on your tablet, it will swap out with unicorn-desktop-git.

@oklopfer Isn't unicorn-mobile-git already preinstalled on tablets?

Installing is kind of a chicken and egg problem since to install a keyboard I need a keyboard.

Can I ask what device you are using? We ship pre-built images with unicorn-mobile for all Pine64 mobile devices, but it seems like you have something else.

I have an old x86_64 (Intel atom) tablet.

ajstrongdev commented 1 year ago

Ah that will be why, if you can find a way to install unicorn-mobile-git instead then it would work as intended, however our x86_64 desktop builds are specifically for PC's, not x86 tablets.
